(I know over crowded) I love the new coco worm. It's hard to see in this picture, but it's opened up more and the heads turned so you can see two of them...it looks awesome!

To be honest with you, that doesnt look overcrowded at all. I too am having problems with the aquascaping part. No matter how i rearrange and arrange the rocks, it looks crowded and cant put anything anywhere. Specially anything near the top because everytime I do a water change I have to stress the coral by moving it down or somewhere else. Your aquascape looks natural.

Either way, just an update, my tank is still not doing well. Lots of algae, the flow sucks from the stock pump thats in there. I redid my aquascape like million times. I just never had so much trouble with a nanocube as I do with the biocube.
No, it didn't die. I put it up in the coral trading theads but I ended up getting $50 for it from my LFS.

This is how my aquascape looks now. As you can see, I sold my frogspawn to my LFS for $50, with the money I bought a brain, some Acans, ricordias. I know I told you that it looks a lot different, and well...it did at first ( it looked like crap lol) I will post a picture to show you how it looked before I tried gluing the broken pieces back together.
Acan
Brain
Rics

Are you talking about my .8 gallon pico? It was made by red sea. It comes with everything you need to start up a pico. Mushrooms and zoos are great corals to add. I had trumpet coral, zoos, and daisy polyps in mine...everything did great! I wanted to add a sexy shrimp or a pom pom crab, but I decided not to keep it up.

You can keep all of the same corals I added to mine. You can also add bubble coral, frogspawn, xenia, mushrooms, green star polyps, zoos... you can basically add any soft coral.
if you want an anemone you will have to upgrade your lighting to metal halides. you can get a tube anemone. They don't need light.
You can get a gorgonian. They don't need any light...I'm thinking about buying a blueberry gorgonian myself.
I hope this helps... You can ask more questions if you need to.

the light is strong for that amount of water, so you can keep zoos and mushrooms. A clown goby would be a little big... Stick with crabs or a small shrimp.
